All of the banks were closed today,except for US Bank. I saw the signs on the doors last week that said they would be open today; and I was shocked. :o So I made it my intention to call some to see if any had halves. I located $110.00 in halves which produced a big goose egg. lol

I also purchased $150 in nickles and had some really nice finds, at least to me.

My first ever war time nickles(2--1944P), and one is in really beautiful condition. Before I even got to look at the date I knew something was different about it, as it had the silver look to it.

1-1986 Cinco Cenavos Repbulica Dominicana (I think it might be silver,as I tried the magnet test and the coin did not stick to the magnet.)

1952, 1959, 1962, Canadian Nickles I also found 1964, and 1968 Canadian nickles but didn't take a photo of them.

I found approximately 75 pre 1960 nickles, many from the 1940's, three 1939, the rest were from the 1950's. I was too lazy to seperate and list them today.

For one Congrats on your 1st war nickles! 8) I know you've been dying to find one in a roll or anywhere for that matter. (Doing the Happy Dance 4 U) LOL!
Although I don't think the 86 Dominican 5 centavos is silver, it's still a nice find.

If you click on the coin values it will take you to this page for km#59 and the far right has the letters ASW which I think stand for Average Silver Weight which is blank.
